Welcome Friends of Fashion.

Hello to All. My name is Chandra. I am a lover of music, fashion, tea, animals, our earth, designing accessories, family and mostly, love. I enjoy collecting tea pots, craft supplies, Compact Discs, nail polish and above all clothing.
I have started this blog to focus on just that...clothing. Thanks to my beautiful mother, fashion has been my friend since I can remember. I first fell in love with it as a young girl when I was able to stylize my very first outfit complete with rain boots, ruffled socks, polka dot leggings, a character shirt, and an incorrectly buttoned up rain jacket. And still, as a woman in my mid- twenties, I simply cannot get enough of it.
This blog is meant for those of you, who like me, happen to be a buyer on a budget, earth friendly, and/or simply have a passion for the world of fashion. As a lover of the earth, a finder of great deals, and a designer of fashion accessories, I plan to show you ways to recycle and enhance items in your closet while spending little or no money.
I will often times feature ideas involving my "Thrifty Three". These are three simple categories that will help you expand and embellish your wardrobe while still keeping your finances in check.
My "Thrifty Three" are as follows:
1. 2WBT1(Two ways are better than one): With this label, I will display at least two ways to wear one item of clothing. This allows you to add novelty and variety to your closet without adding detriment to your finances.
2. RR (Reuse, Recycle)-Embrace Secondhand: With this category, I hope to encourage you to fall in love with thrift stores, hand-me-downs, and creating new from old. Recycled/Reused clothing is not only good for our earth, but can be very useful to a savvy fashionista. This is where we will get creative with items of the past. Any item can be stellar with the right stylizing.
3. +a (Add accessories): Finding a bargain price on accessories and/or designing pieces of your own can add a whole new look to outfits you already own. Accessories can be an inexpensive way to complete, amplify an/or redesign a look.
Referring back to my "Thrifty Three" will adorn your style, expand your wardrobe, and reduce your spending. And remember, the "Thrifty Three" often go hand in hand. Don't be afraid to mix and match these tips.
The photos I will share will feature my "Thrifty Three" and much, much more. Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you enjoy. -Chandra.tcs

"Shirt"-ing the issue: Volume 1

Hello Fashionistas! Hope your closet creativity is booming on this fabulous, first day of summer. Here is to getting outside and enjoying the sunshine! This week's post will be short and sweet, and will hopefully leave you with some inspiration and style adornment. 2WBT1: Tutu Mini A tutu mini is a great item in which to recognize versatility. If you don't already own one and you happen to be crafty, the tutu skirt is moderately easy to fashion on your own. If you are a person who would prefer to save the time and spend the cash, these particular skirts are rather easy to find at a decent price in today's fashion world. Because my tutu mini is my go-to item when I am off to hit the town, I wanted to share with you a couple of ways to wear it. As I always say... Two ways are better than one. Wear it as a skirt: With this, I wanted to create a style that was perfect for a night out on the town.  To generate a look that adds a bit of liveliness and a ...

Fancy Feet: Post 1.

Hello Friends of Fashion! It has been far too long. Hope you all have enjoyed these past few weeks and have been able to add summer enhancements to your closets without breaking the bank. For me, this past month has been filled with summer events that have kept me away for a while. Unfortunately, plans for a busy August will most likely continue to keep me away. However, it will be an excellent month filled with party planning, weddings, and concerts. As I may be MIA for most of the upcoming month, I felt I should leave you with a taste of what is to come later this year... This post is a preview for those of you who are, what I like to call, "Shoe-a-holics." ;) Sometimes, I find shoes at thrift stores that seem as though they just need a splash of personal adornment. Other times, shoes that I already own begin to seem repetitive and just need a bit of upgrading. Often times, I simply crave a shoe that offers a unique style and a touch of personality. Being a lover of c...

"Dress"-ing Up Your Skirt: Spring Edition

Hello Fans of Fashion! In last week's post, I displayed an item that wasn't as it appeared. This week I was eager to reveal that item and how it can be worn with my  2WBT1  label.  Drum roll, please... It is my midi, flare skirt. Midi flares are a fabulous item to own and are lovely for Spring, especially in the Northwest. They come in many different color palettes, allow you to stay stylish and warm on cool, spring days and can be worn in more ways than one.  As a Skirt. Wear it as a skirt. In this photo, I chose to include items that give my skirt a relaxed, spring look. Adding a loose, cotton blouse and some sandals,  give the look a modern, bohemian feel.  I tucked one side of my blouse in and threw on a scarf to give it that extra layer of warmth and style. As you can see, this specific skirt sits low on my waist and hits me at about mid-shin, making it the perfect skirt to get creative with.  As a dress. ...
